DESCRIPTION:
It's relatively brief (the unabridged reading takes a mere four hours), and contains only one character--the demon Screwtape, who writes letters to his novice nephew Wormwood, instructing him on how to best tempt his "patient" (a wayward soul on earth) into the bosom of "our Lord below." Obviously, the book wasn't written with former Monty Python John Cleese in mind, but it's hard to imagine a better Screwtape. (Running time: 4 hours, 3 cassettes) --Andrew Neiland. Lewis's biting satire

I often found myself going back and rereading paragraphs to make sure I really understood what Lewis was trying to say. Also, you have to take Screwta
